GDB C++ 如何停止进入标准库

Question

this post briefly discusses the same trouble I am facing. Essentially, is there a default setting or a hack for gdb to stop stepping inside every single glib library and only step inside user files? I know I can call finish each time it steps inside one but it's some wasted keystrokes I'd rather avoid.

It's already annoying as it is to deal with g++'s output. If this exhibitionism cannot be stopped, are there good alternatives to these gnu tools? I do hear good things about eclipse, but I'm just a student looking for quick and dirty fixes with minimal effort.

Answer 1

If you have GDB 7.12.1 or above you can add the following to your ~/.gdbinit file:

skip -gfi /usr/include/c++/*/*/*
skip -gfi /usr/include/c++/*/*
skip -gfi /usr/include/c++/*

Double check that these are in fact the right places for those libs. This answer comes from here .

Some options without editing gdb init

If you want to "step over" a line (like std::vector<int> a; ) without stepping into it, you can use next .

If you have a situation like int b = is_negative(a[0]) and you want to stop in is_negative you have a few options:

1. Step into the a[0] function then use finish to step out again.
2. Use tbreak is_negative to create a temporary breakpoint on the is_negative function then use next to step which will break on the breakpoint.

2 is faster in the case where you have something with many sub calls in a function like:

is_negative(a[b.at(2)] * c[3]);
